Todd Bowles turns 60 in November and he doesn’t hide that he’s a bit of an old school coach. So Joe thinks Bowles is drooling over his first three picks in this 2023 NFL Draft. [read more]
Does the rookie come up too short to the guy he might replace?
So new Buccaneers rookie tackle/guard Cody Mauch is not only short on teeth, but he’s also missing what could be critical centimeters from his arms. [read more]

Jason Licht could have played it safe. He didn’t. He could have gone with the chalk. He didn’t. He could have reached for need. He didn’t.
With the selection of Calijah Kancey at No. 19, Tampa Bay’s GM stayed true to his board and now he hopes that truth sets Todd Bowles free to forge a dynamic pass rush. It’s a rather bold move for Licht, who has now used his top pick in the past three drafts on a front-7 defensive player. [read more]
Rookie second-round pick Cody Mauch. Tackle or guard?
Man, this Cody Mauch is something else. This guy should be working TV after his football career. And hopefully, he will be with the Bucs a long time. [read more]
So yeah, folks are bound to kvetch that new Bucs offensive tackle Cody Mauch (Roger Goodell said “guard” but he’s listed as a tackle — Joe will have clarification later when Jason Licht speaks) went to a small school. [read more]
Maybe one reason Bucs rookie defensive tackle Calijah Kancey is able to get in opponents’ backfields so much is because he uses Reggie Bush-like moves or because he ‘Moss’ed’ guards?
The Bucs’ first-round pick arrived at One Buc Palace today and sort of made a confession. Growing up, he didn’t warm to interior linemen.
Kancey was asked what defensive tackles he admired and he said, None. Why? “I always considered myself a skills player,” Kancey said.
When pressed to name his favorites, Kancey said Reggie Bush and Randy Moss.
Imagine Kancey going deep down the seam for bombs, shaming defenders? LOL

The Bucs allowed an average of more than 28 points per game in their final six contests last season.
Sad but true. So it’s understandable why general manager Jason Licht handed Todd Bowles a new and exciting toy in the draft last night — instead of help for Bowles’ 18-points-per-game offense. [read more]
Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht was boasting about an 82-inch wingspan tonight.
